3. The best modern historical scholarship has dealt primarily with national and supra-regipnal matters. Friend, Theodore's Between Two Empires, The Ordeal of the Philippines, 1929–1946, New Haven and London 1965Google Scholar, examines American-Philippine relations within the context of the larger issues of Asian diplomacy while Saniel, Josefa similarly treats Philippine-Japanese relations for an earlier period in Japan and the Philippines, 1868–1898, Quezon City 1962Google Scholar. Two outstanding works record the historical development of Philippine governmental structure: Onofre D. Corpuz traces the growth of a national bureaucracy from Spanish times down to the post World War II era in his The Bureaucracy in the Philippines Manila 1957Google Scholar; Cunningham, Charles's The Audiencia in the Spanish Colonies, Berkeley 1919Google Scholar, is a classic in the field. Three Filipino scholars provide the most significant new work on the Philippine Revolution in their biographies of well-known patriots: Guerrero, Leon Ma.'s The First Filipino, A Biography of Jose Rizal, Manila 1963Google Scholar, and Majul, Cesar's Apolinario Mabini, Revolutionary, Manila 1964Google Scholar, both present moving and sympathetic pictures of two major Filipino intellectuals of the period, while Agoncillo, Teodoro in his The Revolt of the Masses, Quezon City 1956Google Scholar, recounts the story of Andres Bonifacio, chief instigator of the armed conflict against Spain.

Even the more specialized studies have approached specific topics across local boundaries. de la Costa, Horacio's The Jesuits in the Philippines, 1581–1768, Cambridge, Mass. 1961CrossRefGoogle Scholar, and Wickberg, Edgar's The Chinese in Philippine Life, 1850–1898, New Haven and London 1965Google Scholar, both examine the Archipelagowide activities of their respective groups. In a study of Filipino adaptation to the first century of Spanish rule, Phelan, John Leddy provides an excellent overview The Hispanization of the Philippines, Madison Wisconsin 1959Google Scholar, which, nevertheless, needs clarification through local studies.

4. The Philippine census of 1960 reveals that even at present rural population heavily predominates over urban, although the pattern has been slowly changing in the present century.

5. A large body of scholarship on contemporary Philippine rural communities already exists. The work reflects the efforts of a solid group of anthropologists, sociologists and political scientists. The Community Development Research Council at the University of the Philippines alone has been sponsoring around forty major research projects on local problems; one of the most useful of those already completed is Hollnsteiner, Mary, The Dynamics of Power in a Philippine Municipality, Quezon City 1963Google Scholar. Other recent and notable studies that discuss local loyalties include: Lynch, Frank S. J., Social Class in a Bicol Town, Chicago 1959Google Scholar; Kaut, Charles, “Contingency in a Tagalog Society,” Asian Sthidies, III (04 1965), pp. 1–15Google Scholar; Nurge, Ethel, Life in a Leyte Village, Seattle 1965Google Scholar; Grossholtz, Jean, Politics in the Philippines, Boston and Toronto 1964Google Scholar; Lande, Carl H., Leaders, Factions, and Parties, The Structure oi Philippine Politics, New Haven 1965.Google Scholar

6. Questions related to the one issue of Philippine independence have attracted more attention from twentieth century Filipinists than any other topic. One of the most important early scholars to focus on the subject was LeRoy, James A. in his two works, Philippine Life in Town and Country, New York and London 1905Google Scholar, and The Americans in the Philippines, (2 vols.), Boston 1914Google Scholar. Around the time of the establishment of the Commonwealth, Kirk, Grayson V.'s Philippine Independence, New York 1936Google Scholar, and Hawes, Harry B.' Philippine Uncertainty, New York and London 1932Google Scholar, put the independence issue in the context of thirtyfive years of Philippine-American relations. More recent reinterpretations include Friend, Theodore, op. cit.Google Scholar, and the somewhat less adequate Grunder, Garel A. and Livezey, William E., The Philippines and the United States, Norman Okla. 1951Google Scholar. The latter is particularly lacking in important foreign sources.

7. Little scholarly work has so far been done on the economic origins of the Hukbalahap movement. Some useful information can be found in Taruc, Luis, Born of the People, New York 1953Google Scholar; Anon., “The Peasant War in the Philippines,” Philippine Social Sciences and Humanities Review, XXIII (06–12, 1958), pp. 373–436Google Scholar; Lieberman, Victor, “Why the Hukbalahap Movement Failed,” Solidarity, I (10–12 1966), pp. 22–30.Google Scholar

23. At the time of the Philippine Revolution, the twenty or so parishes in the province of Pampanga probably had at their disposal one or two thousand hectares of land for the support of church activities. This estimate is based on incomplete information from the Philippine Archives.

The following lands were confiscated by the Philippine Revolutionary Government from Church establishments during 1898 and 1899. By all appearances, they represent total inventories.

Its land did not indeed actually belong to the Parish of Angeles, although it was managed by a priest, Fr. Juan Merino.

The Church, then, controlled only a small portion of the approximately 105,677 hectares of land cultivated in Pampanga at that time [Sanger, J.
